    Toby: The Secret Mine
    Pretty but cheap
    Toby the secret mine is a limbo styled platformer where you try to rescue all of your friends while dodging hard to see obstacles along your way… throwing switches, pulling chests.. and dying over and over and over… Toby the secret mine is probably one of the most frustrating 2d platforming games ive ever played… there are 21 levels total here    Toby: The Secret Mine

    Toby the secret mine is a limbo styled platformer where you try to rescue all of your friends while dodging hard to see obstacles along your way…
    throwing switches, pulling chests.. and dying over and over and over…
    Toby the secret mine is probably one of the most frustrating 2d platforming games ive ever played…
    there are 21 levels total here that took me around 2 and half hours total to complete…
    These levels are beautiful and can sometimes be just as fun as they are frustrating…
    the forground for the most part is a bunch of black..
    this makes certain traps hard to see…
    and one section in particular I actually had to change my screen settings just to see the level as it was a bunch of blinding whites…
    because of this you will die a lot…
    and the game feels a bit cheap at times…
    This is sort of a game about dying and then remembering where that switch was so you don’t die again…
    and for the most part checkpoints are pretty forgiving here…
    but the most frustrating moments of this game.. especially the final boss fight… where youre given a choice for one of 2 endings…
    I feel like the checkpoint system can be garbage…
    the final level was a horrible end cap to this decently enjoyable game where I felt like luck got involved trying to not get hit with a bomb…
    The rest of the game I didn’t mind the dying and retrying as much.. paying attention to signs for door puzzles, and rescuing my friends out of cages…
    aside from the final level and a few cheap moments here and there..
    Toby The Secret mine is a decently enjoyable yet frustrating 2d platformer…
    I give Tobe The Secret Mine
    a 5.5/10    … Expand

    Toby: The Secret Mine is a challenging but beautiful game that borrows many things from games such as LIMBO or Badlands, but it achieves to craft its own style. We will die so many times until we realize the suitable path, but the result is worth it.

    A platform game developed by Lukas Navratil Games that at first sight stands out for its artistic and visual effects, this remind us other titles such as Limbo. The Limbo's resemblance is implanted in all aspects of the game and is a good title to generate achievements on your Gamertag and enjoy an entertaining and different story. The only negative point is the duration of the game.

    Toby: The Secret Mine is a somber experience executed using a visually stunning setting. Most of the puzzles are an experience in exploration and intelligence. Unfortunately, the technical issues keep it from being the masterpiece it could be. A truly great game is hidden underneath all the frustrating problems.
